Created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, ‘Rick and Morty’ are one of the most popular animated shows. The animated shows have a dedicated fan following that finds immense pleasure and laughter in its sci-fi comedy plot. ‘Rick and Morty’ began as a parody of ‘Back to the Future’ on Channel 101. The popular series follows around the misadventures of talented scientist Rick Sanchez and his brainless teenager grandson Morty.
What is ‘Rick and Morty’ about?
‘Rick and Morty’ features a talented scientist, Rick Sanchez, who has to go and stay with his daughter Beth and her family. While living with Beth’s family in the same house, he tries to reconnect with his daughter but fails. He later forms a bond with his fourteen-year-old grandson Morty. He often accompanies his grandfather to the multiverse, various time travelling and space exploring trips. This is possible through a technology that Rick creates to transport him and the people travelling with him. Rick and Morty often come across various aliens and, sometimes, he also includes the rest of his family Beth, her husband Jerry and their daughter Summer on these trips. While it may seem like the perfect animated show to sit down with your family member, it surely is not. Some of the scenes of ’Rick and Morty’ are surely not advisable for kids.
Even though Rick is a scientific genius who manages to travel through time and space on various occasions, he is a very selfish, bad-tempered, alcoholic and sometimes ruthless. He does not show much care for the people around him. Many times this leads to his grandson Morty getting killed in different universes. Due to his actions, Rick gets emotionally scarred. Not just this, numerous times ‘Rick and Morty’ showcases violence, abusive language, along with sex and the usage of drugs and alcohol in between. While the series might appear to be a fascinating scientific show, it is definitely not for people and kids looking for a light-hearted family series.
During an interview with “Los Angeles Times”, Roiland talked about how he came up with the concept of ‘Rick and Morty’. “The original concept was just me screwing around. I would go through phases in my involvement with Channel 101 where I would make stuff that was kind of intended to just shock people. A lot of screaming and people covering their eyes, groaning. This was one of those things.”
